Find a Counselor in San Rafael

In my life coaching practice, I work with people who want to CHANGE something: something in their relationships. something in their career, something in their communications, something they are conflicted about or grieving , something that is holding them back from achieving a life long dream, or that is keeping their self esteem low. People who are ready to identify what relational, situational, or emotional challenges they are facing.

Your relationships are suffering, work or school has become oppressive, being decisive is a challenge, and life, in general, feels scary. Low self-esteem, shame and disappointment, your inner critical voice are all working against you. But good for you for taking this first step towards regaining control over how you want to feel each and every day! It takes initiative and courage to change.

Providing therapy for kids, teens, families and individuals. If you are looking for support with a variety of life’s challenges; communication, relationships, depression, anxiety, processing trauma, concerns with body image and self-esteem and so much more. I am here to listen and to help you through life’s ups and downs.

Relationships can be the most rewarding, and the most frustrating, things in our lives. We want them. Well, we want the good parts. And when we are not getting the good, we think hey, maybe I am just better off on my own. But where does that leave us? Usually craving and wanting a relationship again. Love, communication, and intimacy are probably not the things you learned in school.

My objective is to listen, be present, connect, provide feedback and reflect on what may help your life become more rewarding, less stressed, anxious or stuck, more empowered, or even reinvented! Every person is unique and together we will explore your strengths and the best options that will enhance your well-being. I am non-judgmental and create a friendly environment that provides an opportunity for us to talk about your difficulties and expectations.
